In the hypothetical scenario, Luke Cage is already an imposing hero, but imagine him with the might of the strongest powers from the Marvel Universe at his disposal. Fans got a sneak peek into this in the 2023 end-of-the-year special Timeless, which showcased a Power Man hailing from a grim future, instigated by Luke’s former partner, Danny Rand. This special edition offered a glimpse of what Marvel Comics would offer over the subsequent year, and it even had Luke Cage and Danny Rand locking horns, all while demonstrating abilities borrowed from Hulk, Iron Fist, Sentry, Iron Man, and Moon Knight. The tale was so well-received that Marvel asked authors Collin Kelly and Jackson Lanzing to revisit this version of Luke Cage in a fresh Power Man series.
